3rd International ELT Conference, Telling ELT Tales out of School

Once upon a time, a tale was told describing the events in the city of Babel. Ever since, it has been through language and teaching tales that language pedagogy has evolved. Around the end of the first millennium, a pedagogical grammar was developed by an Anglo-Saxon scholar called Aelfric. The boundless imagination of such language practitioners over the centuries has helped build a storehouse of fascinating told and untold tales. These tales narrate old and new, failure and success, and tradition and innovation in teaching practice. They are tales that continue to inspire us because they are rooted in professional experience.
The ELT culture has exerted a powerful influence on language education internationally. On behalf of the ELT Department of Education Faculty at the Eastern Mediterranean University, we would like to invite you to tell ELT tales out of your school , to share tales from different settings, learners and teachers, as well as e-tales about innovative practice in your context. We genuinely believe that at our convention we will all learn lessons from these tales about maximizing learning, empowering teaching, exploiting resources and fostering cultural awareness.
